Claude Code auto-resume selects the directory that owns the session transcript, including worktrees with punctuation or non-ASCII paths and transcript paths containing an earlier projects directory. Hook binding publication and app-side lookup use the canonical ClaudeProjectSlug encoding.

Legacy session records no longer let an unrelated process that reused their PID block restore, even when the current process generation is unavailable. Process classification lives in CmuxWorkspaces as a separately tested value policy. Confirmed process absence overrides an earlier identity snapshot, and the app probes process presence only when existing evidence is inconclusive.

This builds on the transcript and cwd analysis in #6741 by @endmoseung and #4428 by @ohade; thanks for the prior investigation.

Validation:

  • Scoped local checks and Swift syntax parsing pass.

  • The two cwd regressions failed on c9371cedc02 (run) and passed on 6b7540ad70d (827 CMUXAgentLaunch tests). Later runs reuse those identical package inputs.

  • The process-exit regression failed for both legacy and saved identities on 047765a6b5a (run) and passed on fd573ffd22b (319 package tests).

  • Final CI passed: app-host changed suites executed 921 tests with zero failures, and all CLI regression shards passed (run).

  • All five review threads are resolved; GitHub reports the PR as mergeable and clean. Local Swift syntax validation passed for all 11 changed Swift files.

  • No live reboot dogfood was performed.

Changelog

Fixed Claude Code session restore cwd selection and reused PID admission after reboot.

📝 Walkthrough

Claude hooks pass transcript paths to resume-binding publication, and the resolver uses transcript project-directory information to select a working directory. Process restoration now classifies process evidence through a shared matcher, including legacy records without a saved generation.

Changes: Claude Resume Working Directory

Layer / File(s) Summary
Transcript-based working directory resolution
CLI/cmux.swift, Packages/macOS/CMUXAgentLaunch/Sources/CMUXAgentLaunch/AgentResumeWorkingDirectory.swift, Packages/macOS/CMUXAgentLaunch/Tests/CMUXAgentLaunchTests/AgentResumeWorkingDirectoryTests.swift
Claude session-start, stop, and prompt-submit hooks pass the transcript path into resume-binding publication. The resolver checks candidate working directories against the transcript project slug before using its existing fallback order. Tests cover direct and nested transcript paths, punctuation, and non-ASCII characters.

Restorable Agent Process Validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Process evidence and matching rules
Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/Sources/CmuxWorkspaces/Session/RestorableAgentProcess*, Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/Package.swift, Packages/macOS/CmuxWorkspaces/Tests/CmuxWorkspacesTests/Session/RestorableAgentProcessMatcherTests.swift
The package adds process-presence and process-evidence types, plus a matcher that classifies evidence as a match, mismatch, or unknown. Tests cover identity, scope, expected-process results, and incomplete evidence.
Session indexing and process validation
Sources/RestorableAgentSession.swift, cmuxTests/RestorableAgentProcessGenerationTests.swift, cmuxTests/RestorableAgentSessionIndexTests.swift
Indexing records the observed identity for a live PID when no generation was saved or the saved generation matches. Validation passes process evidence to the matcher. Claude project-directory encoding delegates to ClaudeProjectSlug; tests cover legacy PID cases and slug encoding.

If an agent process exits just after its identity is captured, automatic restore can stay blocked or treat the dead process as live. Check for an absent process before comparing identities, then merge.

Full details: Cmux Expensive Synchronous Load

Explanation

The PR worsens an allowed-but-sensitive synchronous load on close paths. In Sources/RestorableAgentSession.swift, scopedProcessMatch now calls processPresenceProvider(processID) unconditionally (lines 3648-3652). The default provider is PIDPresence.current, which performs process-table and kill(pid, 0) syscalls (Sources/PIDPresence.swift:10-24). RestorableAgentSessionIndex.load() iterates recorded hook sessions and is still used by @MainActor workspace, tab, and window close fallbacks when SharedLiveAgentIndex.shared is nil (for example TabManager.swift:2629-2636). The previous matcher only performed this presence check on inconclusive identity or argument evidence. This adds a per-record syscall to the synchronous close fallback, so the existing call site is worsened.

Resolution

Keep legacy PID validation off the synchronous close path. Use process-presence evidence from the background SharedLiveAgentIndex/process snapshot, or make scopedProcessMatch call the presence provider only when identity or argv evidence is unavailable. Preserve the nil-guarded cold-cache fallback without adding an unconditional per-record process-table syscall.

CI passes on fd573ffd22 (run 38504611270 attempt 1).

Written by scripts/ci/classify_failures.py (ci-failure-attribution.yml); signatures are its SIGNATURES table. A machine verdict is the runner's fault, not this PR's; yours means the failing file is one this PR changes, also red on main that main's latest full suite fails the same way, seen on other PRs that it failed on another pull request's run lately.

Dogfood tours of fd573ffd

agent-activity-reorder at fd573ffd: not run

skipped: CI built this head on a runner pool whose products the UI test Macs cannot load, and media never compiles one; gh workflow run pr-media.yml -f pr=<n> -f allow_compile=true does

Tours are picked by the paths globs in dogfood/scenarios/*.json; a Dogfood-tours: a, b line in the description picks them instead (none turns this off). Look at every frame before merging: a green tour only means no step failed.

Follow-up: final verification completed on fd573ffd22b.

  • All five CodeRabbit review threads are resolved. The candidate list is compacted before matching, Claude transcript parsing selects the final projects component, and cwd encoding delegates to ClaudeProjectSlug.
  • Legacy PID matching now rejects contradictory argv/scope evidence, treats confirmed absence as a mismatch before identity comparison, and probes presence only when existing evidence is inconclusive.
  • Required CI is green in run 38504611270: ci-status, fast guards, macOS package tests, macOS compile admission, app-host changed suites (921 tests, 0 failures), CLI product tests, and all three CLI regression shards passed.
  • Local Swift syntax validation passed for all 11 changed Swift files, and git diff --check is clean.
  • The CodeRabbit docstring-coverage item is an optional warning; the changed app-target helpers are covered by the repository’s existing documentation policy, and adding boilerplate to tests would not improve the behavior under review.

GitHub reports the PR as MERGEABLE and CLEAN; there are no unresolved review threads or merge conflicts.
